Ceramide and hyaluronic acid-infused eyeshadow from Sue Devitt

Is it an eyeshadow? Is it a skin treatment? Answer: Perhaps both.

At least, that's what Style.com is saying about anti-aging Microquatic Skin Series in February 2005. Her Beauty Sea Spray Microaquatic Hydrating Marine Mineral Eye Palettes (in blue and green) have both ceramides and hyaluronic acid infused into the formula.

And while I'm a bit skeptical about the benefit of skin-plumping hyaluronic acid on my lids vs. other places I could use it, in terms of any improvement to be seen it really comes down how much of the ingredient is actually in the formula. As with many makeup-cum-skincare products on the market right now, there just isn't enough of any active ingredient to really make much of a difference.
